Has anyone noticed any plastic or chemical smell or outgassing from this machine? (My Hamilton Beach BM reeks from 4 feet away even when cold.)

I have owned this bread machine for five years and never had any bad smells.

There is no foul odor from the Zojirushi bread maker at all. When the bread is baking it fills your home with the warmth and love of home-made goodness.

Nope. Not at all. This is my third bread machine over the years and you can't even put the other two in the same category as this one. It's fantastic.

There isn't one - it just happens from time to time when the machine runs a cycle. When the machine bakes some of the waste it is awful smell which will go away within an hour, but it is horrible while it lasts.

I agree. I thought it was a dead mouse in the basin. I took the apparatus apart and found nothing. I believe it is the plastic smell from the holding tank. I use a spray bottle to dampen the shrouds and that seems to help. I do like the power , and size of this cooler though.

I bought the 17005 used and it has been giving off a vomit-like odor since I got it. I installed a new pre-filter so I think the permanent filter must be releasing odors. I wish it was washable, not just vacuum - the smells might come out better. I do not want to drop another $40 for a new filter. That would be almost what I paid for the air cleaner!

Yep, that is a perfect description of the smell, which has existed from day one taking it out of the box. I tried febreeze and sitting it outside in the sun for two days to see if UV rays could kill, and if anything the smell got worse. I finally just threw it away after owning it for about a month. Sorry that doesn't help, but I just wanted you to know you aren't alone!

Never had odor issues with mine. Wash it and throw a fresh loaf of cheap bread in it to scent it.

There is a small odor from the heat that builds up from continuous running. I shred a lot of paper, probably more than what would be normal for most people.I am completely satisfied with the machine. I recommend purchasing the large bottle of lubricating oil and using it as directed.

Interesting that you experience plastic smell. I did not have that experience. I wonder whether they change the manufacturing plant and you happened to get one from contaminated production. You can try to wash it first in dishwasher and then soak in tea overnight to get the smell out.

It sounds to me like you were thawing the freezer, which is always a smelly Process. First use hot water & soap to clean the freezer rot, and then run the ozone generator to clear up any remain odors.

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

There may be a plastic smell when you first use it and that's normal, it will go away with use. If you by any chance smell burning plastic, then that might be a torn seal ring. For more trouble shooting, please call Oster direct for info, parts, and replacements.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

Yes, it is very hot. If you have to move it use the side plastic parts. I've never notice a plastic smell.

Mine has no smell whatsoever. Just received it last week. Maybe you should send it back!

Smells like plastic at first. The machine is meant to used without people in the space. Let it run for an hour as is cleans the odors out of the air and then I would open a window or shut it off for a bit before letting people enter.

If your smelling plastic burning that's not a good sign. I never had that problem with mine. I would suggest sending back to manufacturer.

Hmm... no, I don't have this problem. Maybe you can clean it? Run a water and baking soda solution thru the machine a couple times? Maybe a squeeze of real lemon juice to rid it of any smells.... Also, make sure to use bottled water or filtered water instead of tap if you can, that metallic taste may be coming from the tap water/coffee combo. I didn't do either of these things and my coffee is just fine. Best of luck.
